    Pros and Cos of various friction hitches in the trees

    It's a standard hitch, useful for adjusting a tarp guyline. If set properly, one can reach out from under the tarp to retension in the rain as thing stretch. We used to tarp camp most of the year in a previous chapter of work life.

    Pros and Cos of various friction hitches in the trees

    I still climb on my original HH. And HH2. Are you using it SRT or Doubled rope/ MRS?

    What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

    I'm splitting wood in the shade on a sunny, guessing low 70s day.

    David, how much stump shot on the top? Nylon cutting boards cut down into stacking plates...a la Stig...good stuff. You were out of room, bottoming out, I think.

    How'd it go today?

    Choir and orchestra performances tonight. Hauled my first load. The whole trunk minus the 20' wildlife habitat snag in the background. 7x12'...I can turn my mini around in it. Easy to load two machines side by side. Can push my new chipper into it, if I ever need to.

    Yes. I do this same thing to prevent barberchairs and to slide off sizable/ machine-handleable/ millable maple logs. All kerfs, no face. Basically leaving a square/rectangular peg of central holding wood that gets 'Coos Bay'-ed off.

    Knot thread

    I scaffold knot into a biner with keyhole gate, not ledge gate. Fusion D steel. wesspur Half hitches ( or marls on brittle pieces) take the strain of the biner. If a piece breaks apart, marls cinch onto the wood. If the marl breaks the piece, you can get a knot.

    How'd it go today?

    Yay tires!! Boooooo rats!! Peppermint and dryer sheets are supposed to repel rodents. I've been dealing with rodents a little bit over the last decade. In a couple of days, there was rodent food waste (bird seed shells, but no germinated birds!) inside the engine compartment.

    Climbing the tree vs climbing a rope in the tree

    Hip stretching and anti-inflammatory. Dr google. I stand in my right leg more than my left. Tree work is asymmetrical.

    Tear-limiting undercut near the collar near the base first in case of premature limb failure. The offset is large enough to prevent interfering with the release cut, I think. Good cut. Coos Bay may be less risk of a bound saw compared to boring.

    Climbing the tree vs climbing a rope in the tree

    Especially with sore knee from a tight IT band, I liked having a TIP 15'different from the topping point. Lots of sitting in my saddle during and between cuts with an easy to swing around to get good positioning. PSP/ redirection point for the base-tie at 80% height. Had to join ropes as the...

    Something like that can be drained first. There should be a drain plug around back. Or bore in and wait for it to drain.

    Makes sense. Was it from catching a top or heavy 'positive' lowering?? It's got a lot a of life in it, but it's just not as strong as before.

    Climbing the tree vs climbing a rope in the tree

    The ergonomics are better. I'm definitely for efficiency, however I'm thinking career long marathon not daily sprints. I have taken an hour for a hard shot at 80'. That's where the work was, 2 large fir branches to prune from over the house. It wasn't a tree to advance from the bottom...
